Summary:—

The pressure reading of a pitot tube in a supersonic flow corresponds to the position of the nose shock wave. Results of measurements of the shock stand-off distance are presented for three different streamwise Mach number gradients and for a uniform flow. These results are compared with existing theoretical values.
